When was the last time you recall seeing a pharmacist on screen? Maybe once in the entire season of @HBO's #ThePitt that you binged over the weekend? 🥼💊

A new study analyzed pharmacist portrayals in film and TV (2013–2023) and the results are eye-opening. Spoiler: Nearly half were shown negatively. 📺

Why does this matter? Because media shapes public perception, and pharmacists already face a PR problem.

Too many people still think pharmacists “just count pills,” when in reality, they’re critical healthcare providers managing chronic conditions, preventing medication errors, and delivering frontline care (remember the pandemic?). 🦠

New research by Drs. Alex Kim, Gavin Howington, Brooke Hudspeth, and Michael Behal and PY4 student Peter Thai shines a light on the disconnect — and it's time we change the narrative.

📖 Read the study at the link in our bio.

After 25 incredible years in pharmacy, Dr. Frank Romanelli (@runblue) is embarking on a whole new adventure—this time on horseback! 🏇✨

The beloved professor and chief academic officer at @UK_COP has announced his early retirement to chase a lifelong dream few people knew about: becoming a professional jockey.

While many retire to slow down, Romanelli is speeding up—literally! This spring, he'll ride exclusively for Cherie DeVaux Racing. His leadership, kindness, and humor will be deeply missed, but we couldn’t be more excited to see him take on this surprising next chapter.
